If you are involved in a collision with another vehicle, never provide more than basic contact information if you are contacted by the insurance company of another driver. You also are not required to immediately provide information about your injuries to the other insurer. An auto accident attorney can help you with what information you must and should not release.

If you are in an accident, and the other driver was at fault and uninsured, you should consult with one of our attorneys. We can advise you on your rights in this matter, and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Drivers have a duty to report any automobile accidents in which they were involved to their own insurance company. Failure to promptly notify your insurer of an accident could void coverage of the incident and result in the insurer refusing to pay for damage.

Auto insurers typically pay for basic losses. If you have been in an automobile accident and suffered injury and/or property loss, consider contacting a personal injury attorney skilled in automobile accident cases. Your attorney will be sure to fight for your compensation for costs above what your insurer will pay.
